Kizzy

Kizzy - a Local Storage Utility

Kizzy is a light-weight, cross-browser, JavaScript local storage utility. It leverages the HTML5 localStorage API when available, as well as Internet Explorer's persistent XML store — wrapped up in a easy to use, memcached-like interface. When neither of these features are available (unlikely), it falls back to an in-browser object store.

Kizzy whu?

The name comes from Kunta Kinte, a Mandinka African warrior from the 1700's. After being brought into slavery, he had a daughter whom he named Kizzy, which translates to stay put in hopes that the family would stay together, but not stay a slave.
